This needs to be removed from the Epic Edition, as it turns the game into pay to win. Those who can afford the epic edition will have 3 days ahead of everyone else on professions and levelling. This means that even if weeklies and dungeons aren’t available, those people will be ahead of everyone else.
That is not bad if i can be ahead of everyone else in profession and leveling

Its a complete disgrace on a game that carries a sub too.

The worst thing about this is that for a lot of people the most memorable experiences is an expansion launch and it’s social boom that comes with it, seeing everyone rush to the boat/portal/zeppeling and waiting for the first one.
Seeing the first look of the new land with everyone else and experiencing all the quests together with hundreds of others in your shard.
Now that is being scaled down due to monetary reasons.
Really leaves a sour taste for me. I won’t be supporting this and going for the heroic edition instead. Would hope many people will do the same so they wouldn’t do this but knowing how things go, many people will fall for this trap and reduce a great natural thing about this game in the process.
Shame, just that, a big shame.

What a complete joke from Blizzard to do this. I can understand to get bonus things i.e mounts / transmogs / game time / boosts ect ect. But to now be given 3 days early access is so shameful and I hope Blizzard removes this as its robbery from the people who cant afford it or refuses to pay for it.

I don’t mind it. It smoothens the game out for everyone involved due to less traffic.

Those extra three days guarantee you max rep instantly for the new factions and the highest pvp/m+ scores, didn’t you know that? 
I’m fine with it because those three days would have been the worst for everyone. Day one of DF was a fight against the Boat boss to get into the Dragon Isles.

For those of you who seem to “not mind” it, you accept this, Microsoft see you accepting this, they won’t stop here. Can of worms, opened, it’s vile, money grabbing behaviour and what’s worse is some of the victims are welcoming it. Morons.

I’m really opposed to the early access in the epic edition. The whole point of an MMO is the progression is the same for everybody. Giving people who can throw enough money at the screen a 3 day headstart is a massive advantage for things like the economy, professions and even early gearing & leveling for raiding/M+.
Very disappointed with this decision and I really hope that this isn’t the direction they’re taking after the Microsoft merger. Things like this are extremely anti-consumer, something that was a major concern with such a large merger potentially forming a monopoly.
I think it may be too late to remove this from the package entirely as it’s unfair to the people who have already purchased it but they should definitely not do this again.

I fell for this crap with Diablo 4, a game I do not play any more. I’m not failing for it again. I’m not even sure I’m buying to be honest. Waiting to see a more detailed presentation of the expansion features which are not bad, but not that impressive either to be honest. Earthen? Really? For both factions?
